Hi Just a quick note. Thanks so much for the lesson on wish you were here. It has great sentimental value to me, my best friend passed away 2 years ago, and he was just starting to teach me to play. I told him I wanted to learn, wish you were here by pink floyd. He died before we got started. His son gave me his guitar, and said, learn to play wish you were here, and play it for me and my Dad, and the guitar is yours. Well, I am now ready to try, and I gotta say your video looks like the best of all the ones I have watched on the net, so...Thanks, wish me Luck. Any other tips or pointers you may have about this song would really be appreciated. Thanks Jim Barri e Ont Canada PS, I like the way the Leaf Jersey made it in !
